' U follows. ,

I, Delbert Brown, have been a lifetime resident of Campbell County, Kentucky.

I presently live on Washington Trace Road, where I have resided for the past three years, k'a.shington Trace Road is within the 10 mile emergency planning zone. I have

read the Campbell County Radiological Emergency. Plan in part. ,

I am faniliar with the roads in Car.pbell County. A designated major evacuation. .

routc, Kentucky Route 8, is dangerous in places for ordinary use and obviously unfit for emergency evacuation purposec. In particular, south of Twelve Mile Creck the road is built into the side of a steep hill and is frequently subject to slippages, some of them so severe that the north bound lane has been practically unusuable for weeks at a time. Piles have been driven recently in an effort to support the roadway, but the road surface is dangerously irregular and convoluted and would be particularly hazardous during emergency evacuation conditions. Route 10 is very poorly maintained by the State. Kentucky 10 is a narrow and winding road.

It parallels Welve Mile Creek and during flooding this portion of Kentucky 10 is .

impassable. This road floods approximately two times a year. Route 8, one mile southof Twelve Mile Creek, is slipping into the river; traffic must reduce its-i speed by one half, during cicar weather cars may proceed at 15 miles per hcur and -

and Four and Twelve Mile floods approximately once a year. Smith Road near Route 10 floods at least once a year.

The plan assumes that electrical service will be maintained throu6 hout the

emergency. Electricity is needed to operate televis' ions and radios as part of the prompt notification system among other things. My house is serviced by Owen County Rural Electric Company. Occasional power outages by Owen Coun,ty Rural Electric Company are frequent enou6h to be a cause for concern.

The plan does not take into consideration that people from outside the 10 mile EPZ, as well as those inside, would probably rush home to evacuate their families.

Regardless of what the plan calls for, I be:1 eve that most people would take the fastest way out of the area and go to the nearest relative's ht,ase outside the 10 mile zone. If I have any serious doubts in the event of an accident that evacuation is taking place in a haphazard manner, I would not hesitate to reenter the area in order to take care of my family. Based on my familiarity with the plan at thic point I have serious doubts as to whether an evacuation could be carried out in a safe and timely manner.
